Abstract
Description
- The present invention generally relates to a vehicle design, more particular to this vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary propelling device and an electric motor for powering the power assisted vehicle.
- Conventional electric vehicles and light transportations usually rely on electric motors to transmit powers. For designing traditional motors, external gears, belts are utilized to drive tires for rotating. However, the speeds for those transportations are to regulate voltages to achieve. The regulation may consume electricity and torsions generated by motors may be easily affected by the available capacity remaining in batteries. For any type of transmission mechanism, the precision requirement is really high and the noise is quite loud. The transmission mechanism may also have larger volume and weight.
- To overcome the foregoing shortcomings, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience in the related field to conduct extensive researches and experiments, and finally invented a power assisted vehicle as a method or a basis for achieving the aforementioned objective.
- Accordingly, it is an objective of the present invention to provide a power assisted vehicle that is capable of self-propelled going forward, reduces the consumption on powers provided by batteries, and improves transmission efficiency.
- The power assisted vehicle comprises a frame body, a pushing handlebar pivoted to the frame body, a wheel portion and an auxiliary propelling device. The auxiliary propelling device includes an auxiliary wheel and at least one transmission portion disposed in the auxiliary wheel. When two friction wheels of the transmission portion fasten to two sides of a friction ring of the auxiliary wheel and the two power sources is in reverse to drive the two friction wheels for rotating, a wheel rim and a tire are then driven to produce rotations. The power assisted vehicle is therefore capable of self-propelled going forward only push it at a specific speed by user. A processing device is further installed in the power assisted vehicle. The auxiliary propelling device is then activated when the power assisted vehicle is at a specific speed. The energy consumption for the power source is reduced and increased transporting efficiently and regulated the power sources distribution for powering the power assisted vehicle. The usage of the power assisted vehicle is more efficient.
- To make it easier for our examiner to understand the objective of the invention, its innovative features and performance, a detailed description and technical characteristics of the present invention are described together with the drawings as follows.
- The accompanying drawing is included to provide a further understanding of the invention, and is incorporated in and constitutes a part of this specification.

- Referring to the related figures for the power assisted vehicle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein the same elements are described by the same reference numerals.
- Referring to FIG. 1, an exploded assembly drawing of a power assisted vehicle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The power assisted vehicle 1 comprises a
frame body 11, a pushinghandlebar 12 pivoted to theframe body 11, awheel portion 13 disposed on theframe body 11 and anauxiliary propelling device 2. An external power 111 (e.g. a battery) is disposed on theframe body 11. Theexternal power 111 can be easily replaced to keep power supplied by theexternal power 111. In addition, a pivot point between the pushinghandlebar 12 and theframe body 11 having a positioning member 121 (e.g. screws screwed to nuts as shown in FIG. 1). The pushinghandlebar 12 is folded by loosening or by tightening thepositioning member 121. The pushinghandlebar 12 is unfolded as shown in the embodiment. Thewheel portion 13 has twofastening frames 131 pivoted to theframe body 11 and drivenwheels 132 disposed to thefastening frames 131. - Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, shown an
auxiliary propelling device 2 preferable configured with downwardly depending on theframe body 11. Theauxiliary propelling device 2 has a transmission portion 21 disposed on theframe body 11 and an auxiliary wheel 22 driven by the transmission portion 21. The transmission portion 21 can be disposed by at least two sets. There is only one set shown in the embodiment. The transmission portion 21 includes a supportingbase 211 disposed on theframe body 11; two power sources 212 (e.g. motors as shown in FIG. 2) disposed on the supportingbase 211, atransmission shaft 213 protruded from eachpower source 212 and afriction piece 214 disposed on eachtransmission shaft 213. Two sides of the supportingbase 211 having protruded to fasteningshafts 215. Thefastening shaft 215 is a precision aluminum die-casting that can be fastened on theframe body 11. Moreover, the twopower sources 212 are electrically connected to theexternal power 111. The twopower sources 212 then drive thetransmission shafts 213 for rotating. Meanwhile, the twopower sources 212 turning different rotation directions to allow the twofriction pieces 214 to have different rotation directions. - Referring to FIG. 4, the auxiliary wheel 22 includes a
wheel rim 221 surrounded the outside of the supportingbase 211, afriction ring 222 fastened on thewheel rim 221, atire 223 fastened on thewheel rim 221 and reversed to thefriction ring 222, whereincover bodies 224 covered with two sides of thewheel rim 221. After thecover bodies 224 cover with thewheel rim 221, the transmission portion 21 is then fastened into thewheel rim 221 to improve waterproof and dustproof performances. Moreover, thecover bodies 224 are pivoted to the fasteningshafts 215. To help the rotation of thewheel rim 221; a bearing 225 is disposed between thewheel rim 221 and thefastening shafts 215. In addition, thefriction ring 222 is a flexible material with wear resistance. Two sides of thefriction ring 222 secured with thefriction pieces 214. Powers supplied by thepower sources 212 then drive thefriction ring 222, thewheel rim 221 and thetire 223 for synchronously rotating through thefriction pieces 214. - Referring to FIG. 5, firstly, before using the power assisted vehicle 1, the pushing
handlebar 12 is folded downward and leans against theframe body 11 by loosening thepositioning member 121. Thefastening frames 131 is then driven to approach theframe body 11 as shown in FIG. 5. Therefore, the power assisted vehicle 1 can be easily stored. While using the power assisted vehicle 1, the pushinghandlebar 12 is lifted. The power assisted vehicle 1 is then expanded as shown in FIG. 6. Before the power assisted vehicle 1 performs self-propelled going forward, a thrust pushes the power assisted vehicle 1. Thetire 223 sequentially drives thewheel rim 221, thefriction ring 222 and thetransmission shafts 213 for rotating. Next, by incorporating with twopower sources 212, thetire 223 then rotates backward as driven by twopower sources 212. In another word, when twopower sources 212 transmit powers, thefriction ring 222 is clipped through twopower sources 212. Hence, onepower source 212 rotates clockwise and theother power source 212 rotates counterclockwise to avoid shake generated by thefriction ring 222 while rotating. The transmission loss of the power assisted vehicle 1 is then decreased to the minimum. When current is increased for onepower source 212, current is then decreased for theother power source 212. Current consumption can be steadied. There is no unstable load current for thepower sources 212 due to the shaking of the friction ring222. The service life of thepower sources 212 and the speed of the power assisted vehicle 1 would not be influenced. Greater voltages required for activating thepower sources 212 are further overcome when the power assisted vehicle 1 starts going forward from a stop state. The power consumption of theexternal power 111 is also decreased to the minimum. Therefore, the transmission efficiency is improved and the consumption of battery capacity is decreased. - Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, a pictorial drawing of the power assisted vehicle 1 according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The power assisted vehicle 1 comprises a
frame body 11, a pushinghandlebar 12 pivoted to theframe body 11, awheel portion 13 disposed on theframe body 11 and anauxiliary propelling device 2. In the embodiment, aprocessing device 23 is connected to thepower sources 212. Theprocessing device 23 having aprocessing unit 231, and a sensor 232 disposed to a side of thetransmission shaft 213 and a controller 233 disposed on theframe body 11, wherein the sensor 232 and the controller 233 are connected to theprocessing unit 231. The sensor 232 transmits rotational speed data of thetransmission shafts 213 to theprocessing unit 231 for calculation. Ascreen 24 is added to theframe body 11. Thescreen 24 is also connected to theprocessing device 23. - The controller 233 is utilized to set speeds for the power assisted vehicle 1. The
screen 24 is also utilized to read data (e.g. current speeds, predetermined speeds, state-of-charge) of the power assisted vehicle 1. When the power assisted vehicle 1 performs self-propelled going forward, a thrust pushes the power assisted vehicle 1 to drive thetransmission shafts 213 for rotating. The sensor 232 then detects the rotational speeds of thetransmission shafts 213. If the rotational speeds are greater than a predetermined value (1 kilometer per hour, 1km/hr) in theprocessing unit 231, theprocessing unit 231 calculates the minimum voltages and current required for achieving the predetermined rotational speeds of thepower sources 212. The voltages and current of theexternal power 111 are regulated to provide thepower sources 212 to drive thetransmission shafts 213 for rotating. Thetire 223 is then driven to operate the power assisted vehicle 1 to perform self-propelled going forward. When the predetermined speed is achieved gradually, a user does not need to put the thrust. When the power assisted vehicle 1 starts going forward from the stop state, the greater voltages required for activating thepower sources 212 are also overcome. The consumption of theexternal power 111 is then decreased to the minimum. - During operation and use, the power assisted vehicle 1 performs self-propelled going forward as above-mention and if the user puts an auxiliary thrust, the
processing unit 231 then calculates and regulates output voltages and amperes of current to improve power saving efficiency for the power assisted vehicle 1. Of course, when the power assisted vehicle 1 faces hillsides or grassland to which the sensor 232 can detect. Theprocessing unit 231 then controls theexternal power 111 to increase output powers for thepower sources 212. The speed is then set at a setting speed. When the power assisted vehicle 1 faces a downhill or flats, the situation is reversed. Once the power assisted vehicle 1 faces a descent without any help, theprocessing unit 231 controls theexternal power 111 to output the maximum power for thepower sources 212 to keep the setting speed. Once powers are not enough, the current speed is set to be the terminal speed. If the speed is under 1km/hr, theprocessing unit 231 stops the operating of thepower sources 212, and needs help from users until the speed returns to 1km/hr, theprocessing unit 231 then takes over. The aforementioned design may help the power assisted vehicle 1 on the electricity consumption and the service life. By adding theauxiliary propelling device 2, the power assisted vehicle 1 is capable of self-propelled going forward. Energy consumption is then reduced and transmission efficiency is then improved while in use. The service life is also extended substantially. - While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
